Myself When Young is the intimate autobiography of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson, who wrote under the celebrated pen name Henry Handel Richardson, one of Australia's most distinguished literary figures. The memoir chronicles her formative years growing up in colonial Victoria, tracing the experiences and impressions that would later fuel her acclaimed fiction, most notably The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Written with the same psychological depth and quiet precision that defines her novels, the narrative presents a candid portrait of a sensitive artistic temperament taking shape against the backdrop of late nineteenth-century Australian life. Published together with a scholarly essay on the art of Henry Handel Richardson by J.G. Robertson, this edition offers both a personal testament and critical perspective, making it an essential volume for admirers of her work and students of Australian literature alike.
